Ant McPartlin and his wife Anne-Marie Corbett were pictured leaving The London Palladium after another day of Britain’s Got Talent auditions on Saturday.
Anne-Marie, who is believed to be expecting a baby, was joined by one of her daughter’s from her previous marriage to ex-husband Scott Corbett.
The family were spotted departing the venue after the third day of auditions ahead of the new series, as crowds of fans waited outside to greet them.
Anne-Marie, who appears to be several months pregnant, covered her stomach in a form-fitting black top and sported a varsity jacket.
There have been rumours swirling for some months the couple might be expecting – particularly after Anne decided against flying to Australia to be at her husband’s side as while he hosted ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.

They have been spotted on several occasions since, including returning from a recent trip to Dubai to ring in the New Year together.
Ant is now back into the swing of work, filming the new series of the ITV talent show alongside his co-host Declan Donnelly.
During the outing, Anne-Marie sported a pair of form fitting jeans with black loafers, while she accessorised with a Loewe scarf and a cross body bag.
Ant, who walked arm-in-arm with his step-daughter, was wearing a Ralph Lauren sweatshirt with a pair of black trousers and a padded coat.
Speculation Ant could become a father began when Anne-Marie didn’t fly to Australia for I’m A Celebrity, while Dec was joined by his wife Ali Astall and their two children, Isla, five, and Jack, one.
Anne-Marie has two teenage daughters from her previous marriage, whom she split from shortly before she began dating the presenter after being Ant’s PA.
Ant’s marriage to his ex wife Lisa Armstrong ended in 2018, after 14 years together.
Friends claim the Strictly make-up artist, 47, will be ‘very upset’ if her former partner’s happy news is confirmed because she too was desperate to become a mother.

It is believed Lisa and Ant tried for a baby for several years and she was devastated when their marriage ended, still childless.
A friend said: ‘Anne-Marie was Lisa’s friend, and she was heavily involved in getting her the job working for the McPartlins.
‘Lisa would send Anne-Marie’s children birthday and Christmas presents, she even went on holiday with them, and then bang, it all changed.’
Ant has always been open about his desire to be a father.
In 2013 he revealed the couple’s struggles, saying: ‘There’s a rumour that I’m holding off having kids till Dec finds himself Mrs Right.
‘I love that idea, but I’m afraid it’s not true. Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying. It’s tougher than you think when you get a bit older.’
The Saturday Night Takeaway host and Lisa– a former singer in the now defunct pop band Deuce – married in 2006 at a lavish ceremony at Cliveden House in Berkshire.
They split in September 2018 after he checked into rehab for addiction issues.
A lengthy divorce battle followed, mostly over the TV star’s £60million fortune.
The presenter and Anne-Marie married in 2021. Two years earlier he had described her as a ‘lifesaver’.
He said: ‘She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life. It’s great.’
